Projectomschrijving

Currently, the textile industry is energy-intensive as compressed air is used to generate air jets. Interaction between these air jets and a yarn is not yet well understood because current simulation techniques cannot represent this reliably. Therefore, new simulation techniques will be developed to understand this interaction such that the energy consumption of the textile industry can be reduced.
